  Little Turtle’s War and...

  The new United States was faced with a fundamental problem: to expand, it had to settle lands to the west of the Appalachian Mountains, ceded to it by the British. However, the mountains were occupied by Native American groups who had no desire to make way for white settlers. The treaty had created a vast frontier for the fledgling nation, and any American settlers pushing west along it were bound to encounter hostile natives. 
  For the most part, the conflicts that followed consisted mostly of the Native Americans suffering defeat in the face of a better-equipped adversary, interspersed with binding treaties, which, on the side of the federal government, proved not very binding at all. Occasionally, however, there arose a Native American leader of such ability that such defeats were temporarily reversed, and Little Turtle, the war chief of the Miami tribe, was one such man. Under his leadership, a confederation of Miami and other tribes inflicted the worst defeat ever suffered by an American army in the newly independent nation. Almost a quarter of the Army’s total strength was lost in a single battle, but while later Native American leaders such as Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse have become legends, Little Turtle is not as well-remembered. This is particularly odd, given that he actually defeated the American military and helped shape the development of the nascent United States and its military. 
  From the American Revolution up through the Battle of Tippecanoe, Native Americans in the Old Northwest (today’s Midwestern states) had been putting up stout resistance to that region’s settlement by white land speculators and settlers. Things came to a head when Tecumseh and his brother, the Prophet Tenskwatawa, spearheaded a movement in the region that greatly influenced the area’s Native Americans.

  Defend Us in Battle - Catholic...

  The Catholic Church has always had regard for the spiritual and pastoral welfare of those in the military and for centuries priests have ministered to armed forces personnel in war and in peace.
  
   
  Chaplains have served and continue to serve all branches of the British armed forces. The size and organization of the military and the nature of warfare has been transformed, but the chaplain’s vocation remains unchanged. Defend Us In Battle traces the growth and development of Catholic chaplaincy to British armed forces from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century.
  
   
  Taking as its starting point the emergence of a recognized system of military chaplaincy established by the Society of Jesus in Reformation Europe, this wide-ranging survey considers the ministry of chaplains through succeeding centuries. It relates the struggles that Catholic soldiers and sailors endured with British officialdom before being granted their own chaplains.
  
   
  Defend Us In Battle describes the ministry of priests who over the centuries and across the world have voluntarily provided Catholic service personnel with the solace of religion far away from home and frequently in danger. There emerges a powerful narrative of priestly service not always known or recognized by those outside the military.

  Do you like stories about gods and spirits, giants and monsters, damsels in distress, and clever heroes? 
  All of these can be found in African myth and folklore, which have a vast and varied tapestry of stories from hundreds of cultures, each with its own traditions and values.  
  Sometimes the heroes of these stories are divine beings who come down from heaven to create the world we live in, but sometimes human beings and animals themselves are the ones who see to it that the sun, moon, and stars are put into their proper places.  
  Sometimes the heroes are hapless men who get into more trouble than they can handle, while others find a way out of their predicament by getting help from unlikely sources. Sometimes the heroines find themselves in mortal peril because they are not paying attention and have to be rescued by someone else, while others are forced into their predicaments by external forces that require them to be saved or save themselves.  
  However, whatever the danger and whomever the hero is, all of these stories have the ability to captivate our imaginations and keep us on the edge of our seats. 
  Here are just a few of the amazing characters you will meet in this book:a princess who gets eaten by a monster and then goes on to marry a mysterious prince who is not all he seems to bea young woman who is sacrificed to end a drought but rescued by the young man who loves her dearlya blacksmith who is given an impossible task, and the madman who helps solve the problemthe children who put the sun into the skythe fanged deer whose eyes turned into the starsthe clever lad who saves his uncle from death and outsmarts every enemy he comes across
